Choosing a sound
Music availability and permitted uses depend on your region, account, and post. Choose a track TikTok makes available for your intended use; an official recording may not be available to everyone. For content promoting a brand, product, or service, TikTok recommends its Commercial Music Library or obtaining the necessary licenses.
This site does not supply the original master recording. Add your chosen music yourself in TikTok. See TikTok's commercial music guidance for details.
